Applied Scientist / Research Engineer (Internship)
Role Summary
Join Frontier Health as an Applied Scientist / Research Engineer Intern in London, working on AI solutions to improve healthcare administration.
About the Organisation
Frontier Health is building the system of action for healthcare: end-to-end AI co-workers that perform administrative jobs.
Healthcare has an administrative crisis breaking patient care — the WHO predicts a 10 million person workforce shortfall by 2030. Administrative staff are the invisible machinery powering healthcare systems, yet they're over capacity, under-resourced, and underfunded. Care coordination runs on shadow IT: spreadsheets, paper notes, phone calls, and outdated technology.
Frontier's AI co-workers fast-track the admin behind care decisions, designed to slot into the teams, processes, and tools already in place. Founded 18 months ago, we've experience deploying to over 40 hospitals. The team comes from Palantir, Google DeepMind, and Apple. We've raised $16M and were recently valued at $60M, backed by Tier One UK and international investors.
We’re an in person Company, valuing being in the office (Farringdon/Chancery Lane) 5 days a week, or onsite with the customer (as required). We’re also flat, valuing ownership and impact of hierarchy, process and structure. You’ll be collaborating with people across engineering and business functions, with functional leadership, where required, and close and regular touchpoints with the CEO.
At Frontier Health, we believe the admin work no one sees is the work every patient depends on. Waiting, chasing, missed follow-ups, stalled appointments — this is where care breaks down, and it's what we're here to fix.

Care coordination runs on shadow IT: spreadsheets, paper notes, phone calls, and outdated technology.
We build Juno, a supportive AI teammate for healthcare administration. Juno automates the repetitive, high-volume work that slows care down — referrals, waiting lists, booking, chasing, tracking — across the systems healthcare teams already use, so staff can keep patients moving. We're already live in NHS environments, delivering value in real clinical settings.
We're a small, fast-moving team: low-ego, high-bar, and united by the belief that better technology means patients wait less and care keeps moving. Our team comes from Google, DeepMind, Palantir, and Apple.
- You write clean, readable Python and can find your way around a real codebase with little hand-holding.
- You have a solid grounding in machine learning fundamentals and the instinct to work problems out yourself.
- You're comfortable with modern ML frameworks (PyTorch, scikit-learn).
